Trotskyist?

I think you'll find insulting countries, their presidents and (good God) their mothers is a very poor reflection on any person and throws those who share your politics in a poor light.
To answer the original question, Prunella Scales is a well-known advocate of Labour in the UK, and was famously close to Neil Kinnock, former leader of the Labour Party (was defeated several times by the Conservative Party, led at the time by Lady Thatcher).
Being a Socialist/Labourite, does not prevent her and her equally talented husband, Tim West, from living in a very comfortable (expensive) country home, having been invited to the Prince of Wales' wedding to Mrs. Parker-Bowles.
Nor does it prevent her from taking public transport for free with her OAP "creep card".
She's a wonderful actress, and I've been told, a very nice person.
As is President GW Bush, as an aside.
Politics do not define a person. Behaviour comes closer. -

If America had a moderate in office this country may have a chance in the future. But alas, everyone is either ultral-liberal or ultra-conservative. In fifty years, America will be a cespool of corruption and lies. I have already planned to leave the country by the time I retire. I will be very suprized if the US isn't messed up fifty years from now.

YaHwn! Darlings, the woman is 80+ and, more to the point, is FUNNY. Her personal political views are hardly to the point.
Incidentally, Jackie K, your research may be a bit lacking. "This country" is based on intelligent dissent. Speaking as a relict of the first and second Jamestown reliefs AND the Mayflower, I must recommend your reading both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution before making this sort of statement. Blind adherence is not loyalty; intelligent participation the public discourse dis.
If that's more than you want to Google, just search on "freedom for the thought we abhor."

I'm reminded of Beyond The Fringe as they (as English people) look across the pond:
"They have the Republicans, which is their version of the Conservative Party. And then there are the Democrats, which is their version of the Conversative Party."
