In recent years, Cronkite's been noted for his globalist views in numerous speeches. As WorldNetDaily reported, the 86-year-old advocates the U.S. giving up sovereignty and the creation of a U.N. standing army.

In a speech at the United Nations in 1999, Cronkite said the first step toward achieving a one-world government is to strengthen the U.N.

"It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace," he said. "To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order."

Uh.... no.
