If this is true, why doesn’t he move to officially get rid of the Constitution? If government is inherently good, limiting it must be evil, right?

Harry Reid believes that Grimm’s Fairy Tales is non-fiction too.

Anyone who believes that government is “inherently good” is either mentally ill, or evil. In Harry Reid’s case, it is pretty obvious he’s evil.

Harry Reid is yet another left-wing arsonist in a field of straw men.

Only 'anarchists' I've ever met were leftists.

Reid shows his ignorance.

The Tea Party are nothing like anarchists. Tea Party believes in honesty, traditional values, good government and patriotism. Anarchists believe in violence and destruction against innocent targets.

Government is only good if it does good things. Government can be corrupt, wasteful and destructive.

Our Founding Fathers understood the importance of limiting government power. The great intellectuals like John Locke, Adam Smith, Edmund Burke and others also understood it. The Tea Party and conservatives also understand it.

Harry Reid doesn't understand it.

Power is always good when you’re the one wielding it.

It’s good to be the king, right Harry?

You can ask any tyrant in history whether they thought government was good, especially THEIR government, and they’ll all tell you it’s the bee’s knees.

Are there any journalists left on the planet?

Hey Harry!

“Anarchy” is what you have when the president is ruling by executive orders, the AG won’t enforce the law, and congress sends up legislation that nobody has read!

government is "inherently good."

The founding fathers didn't think so. Even if he's making the point that the American form of government is "inherently good", then he needs to speak out whenever Barack Hussein Obama calls out congressmen and Supreme Court justices as "liars" and "wrong". There are THREE branches of government. He continually tries to circumvent the checks and balances to rule by executive order fiat.

After hearing a few of my rants, some listeners accusingly say “You’re a Conservative!”. I half expect them to hold up a cross.

I tell ‘em, “No, I’m a liberal.” After the deer-in-headlights kicks in, I expand. “Ackshully, I’m a ‘Liberal Anarchist’. There are some things that are the governments job, but most of what they do isn’t.”

Gets ‘em every time.

A government can only be inherently good when goodness inheres in government. Can’t happen while it is engaged in the mass slaughter of innocents.

When the RNC had the convention in Minneapolis a few years back, they had an interview with some “anarchists” that were planning a protest. The spokesman stated that their greatest challenge was organization and coordination. Derp.

i never believed Govt was “inherently good”... although some government is necessary and sometimes people can do some good things through their government as the vehicle for proper (constitutional) organized social efforts

however,
government is certainly not “inherently good” ... at best, government is just a reflection of the citizens who create it

and, alas, a reflection of the liars and thieves (and ego-maniacal jerks) who seem to be so strongly attracted into it

such as, many would say, Senator Reid (you know, the guy who won’t pass a budget so we would have a chance of finding out where the last $6 Trillion of extra spending went)

I thought the Tea Party were Nazis? How can one be a Nazi and an anarchist at the same time?

Although the "palaeolibertarians" seem to pull it off.

"Government is not inherently bad," he retorted; "government is inherently good."

Thus spake Big Brother. George Orwell saw you coming decades ago and warned us about you and your ilk.

He then insinuated Tea Partiers were like anarchists.

No, no - libertarians are anarchists. Reid needs to read more FR.
