The 14th Amendment destroyed the only true contribution the American's made to Republican self-government. It was also ratified illegally, but it is a classic example of left-wing libertarian thought.

Oh, okay. So you do not recognize the 14th Amendment. Yes, you are right, without the 14th Amendment, the BOR does not apply to the states. I just wanted to be clear on whether you in fact recognize the amendment.

Out of curiousity, what is your view on the 13th and 15th Amendments?

Neither of those Amendments were inspired by the forces of good or liberty, neither were ratified properly, and the 15th was cited to pass absurdist Voting Rights legislation that allows non-English speakers, non-property holders, and certain groups the ability to vote themselves other people's property (we use to call that stealing now we call it prescription drug benefit.)

Of course, outlawing slavery is not a bad thing, where as giving the federalis the opportunity to regulate who votes and who doesn't in the states is stupidity.
