Whether it\u2019s Halloween, Christmas or even a major sporting event, we decorate, we costume, we have themed and branded food and we f\u00eate the specific holiday or milestone. And, as Americans, we go hard.<\/p>\n<p>As such, I was looking forward to an all-out barrage of red, white and blue patriotism coming from every direction as we headed into 2026, the <a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/category\/us\/america-250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">250th anniversary of our<\/a> declaration of independence from England and the milestone celebrating the founding of our great country.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as we are just a week away from July 4th, I find myself still looking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/travel\/secrets-revolutionary-war-battlefields-emerge-250-years-after-americas-founding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>SECRETS OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLEFIELDS EMERGE 250 YEARS AFTER AMERICA&#8217;S FOUNDING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/category\/us\/economy\/consumerism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Capitalism, it seems, has<\/a> failed America\u2019s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>In a land of clever people who look to lean into every possible opportunity, it seems like our 250th has been a wasted one. Sure, you can find some merchandise here and there, or your normal July 4th fare, but the economic response to this huge milestone event has been utterly milquetoast at best.<\/p>\n<p>I expected to see T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters and more in red, white and blue, emblazoned with oversized &#8220;America 250&#8221; and &#8220;America: Established 1776.&#8221; I expected to see accessories proudly featuring stars and stripes and &#8220;250.&#8221; I expected every grocery store product, from condiments to candy, to feature not only limited-edition red, white and blue variations, but branding about celebrating 250 years of America.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/opinion\/david-marcus-nation-bickers-small-town-america-still-loves-parade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>DAVID MARCUS: AS THE NATION BICKERS, SMALL-TOWN AMERICA STILL LOVES A PARADE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Where are the crazy themed decorations, the 250th balloons and the commemorative knick-knacks?

The fact that they have largely ignored America\u2019s 250th is incredibly disappointing. For those who might say that they don\u2019t want to get too &#8220;political,&#8221; not only has it never stopped them in the past, but, moreover, the founding of our country isn\u2019t about a political party.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, America\u2019s 250th is about all of us as individuals. America was founded on a unique idea, to uphold and protect the rights of each of us as individuals. It\u2019s a celebration of independence and a celebration of people over government. It\u2019s a celebration of defying odds through smarts, grit and strategy and being willing to put ideas into action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The country belongs to us as Americans, regardless of what you think of anyone or everyone in government at any point in time.<\/p>\n<p>That is something worth celebrating, loudly, proudly and with an obscene amount of themed merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>With half of the year gone, it\u2019s a little late in the game, but it\u2019s never <a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/politics\/socialism-vs-capitalism-house-dems-clash-ny-election-results-mean-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">too late for capitalism<\/a>.
